Portland Pairs with Julianna - Dragonfly art quilt

Some time ago, Julianna from Jednoiglec Project Town asked me if I would like to take part in something you can call a personal challange. She showed me Portland Pairs group on flickr. The basic idea is to sew a quilt inspired by the photo. It's a great way to see, how two people can differently see one photo and can interpret it in completely different ways. After some time spent on searching for a suitable photo, we chose THIS dragonfly.

Today, finally, we can show you the results of our work.

Julianna made her dragonfly in a modern, fresh look:

You can read more about it on her BLOG.

My dragonfly is more traditional. I was fighting quite a long time with quilting it. It's about 23x15 inches and makes a nice wall hanging. I didn't really have purple/violet fabric then, that's why I used dark blue.




Lots of free motion quilting...


What do you think about it?

    It's wonderful! A great piece of art! I can't stop admiring it... I didn't know that it's possible to create such detailed view by sewing... I'm still in shock.... wow you're a pro :)

    pikowanie genialne! Jak tylko zobaczyłam Twoją ważkę to pomyślałam "dlaczego ja tak nie potrafię?:("
    dziękuję Ci za wspaniałe wyzwanie!

    Przeszłaś samą siebie. Do tej pory pokazywałaś bardzo estetyczne prace, ale to już nie praca, tu zaczynasz robić sztukę. Szkoda, że nie mieszkamy "przez płot" to byśmy poszły na kawę:) Pozdrawiam Justyna
